Brooks, David W.; Markwell, John – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2006
The theory of memory and the ability to influence learning with conscious and unconscious factors, both internal and external, is reviewed. From a connectionist view of memory, the interactive compensatory model of learning is introduced, with an emphasis on the plastic components (motivation, prior knowledge, and metacognition) that can be…

Peer reviewedHatch, Jay; Jensen, Murray; Moore, Randy – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2005
Instructors used an electronic response system to enhance student-centered learning in large and small college biology classes. The system worked well to engage students in learning the subject matter and to assess their prior knowledge and misconceptions. It provided useful feedback to students as well as instructors. Problems encountered…

Peer reviewedCollins, M. A. J.; Earle, P. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Investigated the effects of units using computers and computer-administered tests. The greatest benefit was attained by those using the units and attending lectures. Students using both the units and tests did not perform as well as the lecture only group. Explores the correlation between high school grades and the methods. (Author/YP)
